To answer your second question consider BOOL b = (BOOL)someObj;  if someObj
happens to equal something like 0x12345600 the value of b will be NO
because casting from a pointer to a char will return the least significant
byte.


For your first question I don't know exactly but it doesn't look safe; I
think it works if the sizeof a pointer happens to equal the sizeof an int
but I've never done this so I wouldn't know for sure.
